My True Tragedy
Chapter 2: I'm Not Your Hero
Kagome's POV
Too fast! Not slow enough! I couldn't handle it. I had been holding in the tears long enough.
They suddenly poured from my face. He was coming. This had all happened in just a few seconds. I was lost in my thoughts.
I finally stopped running, counting my last breathes. Suddenly, an arm wrapped around my waist but…no attack. I turned my head and gasped.
It was him. He was glaring at me. There's the face I knew.
Inuyasha was right on Sesshomaru's tail, trying to grab me. When Sesshomaru would loosen his grip, I would slightly squeal. I knew he was questioning if he should drop me or not.
"You know, we passed my house 10 minutes ago" I told him. I screamed when he dropped me and caught me. "Shut up" he said.
His eyes were cold again…like usual. Not my eyes…I mean not the eyes I liked. Before I knew it, Sesshomaru had jumped in the air and landed on Inuyasha, starting to tear him up.
"Don't kill him!" I yelled. He tightened his grip to where it hurt. "I told you to shut up!" he said, running up a tree. At the highest branch, he stopped and started looking all around.
Once he saw Inuyasha running up the tree, he threw me up into the air. I was screaming the whole time. Had he lost his mind?
Then it happened. Vomit flew out of my mouth. It had barely missed Sesshomaru. I think that's what made him hit Inuyasha so hard that he passed out when he hit the floor.
Sesshomaru caught me before I hit the asphalt.
He quickly set me down. When I took my first step, I collapsed. He started to walk on ahead. Why did he just save me if he was gonna leave me here?
Crawling worked out, so I stuck with that. It wasn't too hard, it just hurt my knee's.
After about 5 minutes of watching me crawl, Sesshomaru picked me up and put me around his neck. It was very comfortable, but it was better than crawling.
"Why were you around Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked, breaking the silence. "I was walking home" I told him.
"That doesn't answer my question" he said. "Shut up!" I yelled. He, for no reason, cut my finger with his nail. "What the hell!" I screamed.
We were finally at my house. I don't know why he didn't just run. It would've been a lot faster.
I didn't realize that my shirt was all torn. Though I was covered in blood, it was still kinda embarrassing.
"Thank you" I said, "for saving me…" He then pinned his hands on my shoulders. I gave off a squeal of pain. There's two more bruises.
"Don't take me for some hero! You're lucky I was there, or you would've been torn up! Next time, I'm not gonna be there! Today, you caught me in a good mood! Now stay the hell outta my way! Understand?" he said, his eyes burning with anger.
Tears were rolling down my cheeks again, but it was only cause I was scared. I quickly nodded and he released his grip. I slid down the wall, not looking at him.
He knocked on the door a few times and was out of sight. I only saw the door open before I passed out.
I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was blurry. Where was I? I tried to sit up but I quickly fell back down. "Sis, stop moving. You'll pass out again" someone said. I then realized it was Sota. He held a water bottle out in front of me.
I slowly took it and started to sip the water. "W-where's mom?" I asked, holding my head. "She's shopping for clothes. She was saying that she has no good clothes" Sota told me. That makes two of us.
I looked at Sota. "Was that after I came inside?" Sota nodded. Even in my worst moments mom would do stuff for herself. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
Sota hurried over to the door and opened it. Sango and Ayame came rushing in. "Kagome, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Ayame asked, sitting at my feet.
"I'm fine. I think I just lost a little too much blood. How'd you know?" I asked. "Sota called" Sango told me. He would do anything to talk to Sango. Sota had a crush on Sango. Not a small one. No, a crush like he has her pictures all over his walls and he saves everything she touches.
"I'll be in my room" Sota said, heading upstairs.
"So, what happened?" Ayame asked, staring at me.
I took a deep breath. "It was Inuyasha. He tried to kill me…with his full demon side. But Sesshomaru came and saved me. He was back to his old self though" I explained to them.
They didn't make a sound as they waited for me to continue. "So, when we got to my house, he pinned me against the wall and told me not to expect to be saved again. It hurt but I didn't want him to push down harder if I said anything" I told them.
The two girls stared at me, the story running through their minds. Sango finally broke the silence.
"What an a-" Sango almost said before Ayame covered her mouth. Sango took her hand off. "Sorry, its just…rude."
"Well, what do you expect? He hates me" I told her. A small smile crept on Sango's face. I wish I had known that Sango knew everything. She was a lot smarter than she looked. Nobody knew though.
I stared at her confused. "What are you thinking?" Iasked. She really was scaring me. Sango slowly stood up. "See ya tomorrow, Kagome" she said.
"Y-you just got here" I said, sitting up, though it hurt. Ayame lightly pushed me back down. "C'mon Ayame" Sango said, standing by the front door.
Ayame slowly got up and followed Sango. "Wait, where are you going?" I asked, worry written all over my face. "To the lab" Sango said, closing the door behind her and Ayame.
I stared at the door confused.
The next day I made it to school. I wouldn't have gone if I wasn't behind in my work.
Sesshomaru completely avoided me, and Inuyasha came to school looking all beat up. I had over heard the guys talkinf about how Sesshomaru had beaten him up for hours.
I bothered to ask if Inuyasha was okay. All he did was look at me with an apologetic look. It wasn't his fault he was half-demon.
It was weird though. Anytime Inuyasha was near me, Sesshomaru would be there, or move him away.
After Science, Sango came running her class and pounced on me. "Sango, I'm still sore you know" I said lying on the floor. "Guess what, Kagome? After doing some research and asking all the guys, I found out that Sesshy likes you!" she said giddily.
